THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

KATE BOLDUAN, CNN ANCHOR: Hello, everyone. I am Kate Bolduan, in for Brooke Baldwin once again today. We've got a busy hour ahead of us, so let's get straight to the news, shall we?

Prosecutors want to see the man who shot Trayvon Martin back behind bars. CNN has learned that they've filed a motion to revoke George Zimmerman's bond. But right now -- I think we're looking at live pictures inside the courtroom as I'm speaking -- but right now both sides are in this courtroom arguing for the same thing, keeping evidence sealed from the public. We're talking crime scene photos, names of witnesses, phone records, a whole list of things.

Seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin was unarmed and walking back from a store when he crossed paths with George Zimmerman back on February 26th. I'm sure you remember this. Zimmerman got suspicious of Martin and followed him. Minutes later, Martin was dead from a gunshot wound. Zimmerman claims he shot in self-defense when the teenager attacked him. Our Martin Savidge is in Sanford, Florida, where this is all happening.

Martin, so what is happening in this hearing right now?

MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, this hearing, Kate, specifically is involving the defense. It's also involving the state. And it's involving attorneys that are representing the media. And for its -- well, one of the few instances in this whole dramatic turn of events, it is one time where you find that the state and the defense are on the same page. And that is, they are trying to prevent the release of certain amounts of evidence coming into the hands of the public or into the media. Specifically you talked about the names and addresses of witnesses. There's a great concern that there could be some sort of backlash. And, as a result, both the state and the defense don't want them released.

But then there are other issues, such as statements that George Zimmerman has made to authorities and also transcripts of telephone conversations and telephone records between George Zimmerman, say, and other witnesses in this particular case. It was argued on the part of the state that they believe in this information is released, it could harm the process for George Zimmerman to get a fair trial. Take a listen to what was said.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BERNARDO DE LA RIONDA, PROSECUTOR: We are in a new age with Twitter, FaceBook, all these other things that I've never heard of before in my career, now it's just a normal thing. So everybody gets to find out intimate details about witnesses that never occurred before.

(END VIDEO CLIP)'

SAVIDGE: Now, to be heard at the end of this hearing is this particular motion that CNN has received a copy of, and it's coming from the state. They are asking that the bond be revoked for George Zimmerman. Of course he was released on $150,000 bond. The state is arguing that -- two things. Number one, he had to turn over his passport. Well, he turned in one passport. It turns out George Zimmerman has two passports. The state maintains that he didn't turn in both of them and, as a result, he could be a flight risk.

Then on top that is comes the issue of money. George Zimmerman, at that bond hearing, maintained that his family was broke. They couldn't afford a high bond. But it was also known at that time that there were websites that were generating cash money coming in. And the state is arguing that the Zimmermans were well aware they had over $100,000 available to them, even though they were claiming that they were broke. So, in essence, the state is saying they lied.

That's where it stands right now. We expect to hear something on that, Brooke (ph).

BOLDUAN: So there is, in essence, they're basically saying that the playing field has changed since they last were in that first bond hearing. I remember the day when it happened.

Real quick, Martin, where do things go from here? Obviously we need to see the outcome of this hearing. But is there any expectation when we're actually going to be moving towards the trial phase?

SAVIDGE: Repeat that one more time. There's just a lot of rain noise here. Say it again.

BOLDUAN: Where do things go from here? We obviously need to see the outcome of what goes on in the courtroom today, but where do you think things are going from here? How quickly could we move to trial phase?

SAVIDGE: Well, no, it's not going to be quickly by any means. In fact, that was reiterated in the courtroom in this hearing by Mark O'Mara, who's the defense attorney. He says, look, it's going to be months and months and months and he has stated in his blog out to the media that it will probably not be until 2013, in other words next year, that this case goes to trial, if it goes to trial. Remember, the Stand Your Ground law still in effect and there probably is going to be a hearing on whether or not George Zimmerman was standing his ground and thereby wouldn't have to go to trial. So, we are a long way away from any sort of trial date right now.

BOLDUAN: It sure sounds like it. Martin Savidge all over these developing details. Thanks so much, Martin, in Sanford, Florida.

We have plenty more news to bring to you. That's called "Rapid Fire." Here you go.

The jobs report for May is out, and it's disappointing. The Labor Department says employers added just 69,000 jobs in May. That's a lot less than the 150,000 jobs economists were expecting. The unemployment rate rose from 8.1 percent to 8.2 percent. And to make matters worse, unfortunately, the economy gained 49,000 fewer jobs in March and April than originally thought.

And we are now hearing what was -- what it was like inside a Seattle cafe when a gunman entered and opened fire. It's really amazing. Police are released the 911 tapes from Wednesday's shooting spree. The call you're about to hear came from a man who hid in a bathroom as shots rang out.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I hear shooting. Somebody came in and shot a bunch of people. I'm hiding in the bathroom.

DISPATCHER: Hold on, sir. How many people --

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We need help right away.

DISPATCHER: OK. Just a second. Did you see the person that did it?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, I did not. I was in the back.

DISPATCHER: Oh, OK.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And so they didn't get me.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BOLDUAN: Wow. Five people, including the gunman, died in the Seattle shootings. We'll have more from those 911 calls next hour.

And the child sex abuse trial of a former Penn State coach will start on Tuesday as planned. The court today denied a motion to push back Jerry Sandusky's case. Sandusky is accused of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period.

And a difficult morning for the family of one of our fallen soldiers. The body of Army Specialist Juneau Coclios (ph) arrived at Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida. He died when an IED exploded while serving in Afghanistan. Coclios lived in Charlotte, North Carolina, and is survived by his wife and a son. So sad.

Subway gets the seal of approval from the American Heart Association. It's the first chain to get the Heart-Check certification. Subway says eight of its sandwiches, nine of its salads and four kids meals meat the AHA's healthy criteria. But the certification has its critics. They say some 200 companies already Heart-Check approved pay for that seal.

SNIGDHA NANDIPATI: Guetapens. G-u-e-t-a-p-e-n-s. Guetapens.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We have a champion.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BOLDUAN: There you have it, a new national spelling champion is crowned. Fourteen year old Snigdha Nandipati, a mouthful in and of itself, an eighth grader from San Diego. She said she had studied the winning word, which means, of course, an ambush or a trap. I'm sure you all knew that. She takes home $30,000 and some scholarship money, which she wants to use to become none other than a neurosurgeon or a psychiatrist.

And with that, we've got a whole lot more n-e-w-s to cover in the next two hours. Watch.

A secret mission. A sophisticated attack. The bombshell revelation today about the president's orders to cripple Iran's nuclear ambitions, all with a computer worm.

Plus, with the war in Wisconsin. It's mayor versus governor. And today a former president steps in.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BILL CLINTON, FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT: You have a choice here. And the choice I think is pretty simple.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BOLDUAN: And a milestone for a monarch. London gears up for a major celebration as Queen Elizabeth marks 60 years on the throne. Brooke Baldwin tells us what's in store at this weekend's Diamond Jubilee.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

BOLDUAN: For only the third time in history, one of the nation's governors is facing a recall election. Wisconsin Republican Scott Walker will face the voters Tuesday. Many of whom are upset that Walker stripped collective bargaining rights from state employees. Look closely. You will see Bill Clinton there in the background. He spoke today on behalf of that guy there, Walker's Democratic challenger, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Clinton and Walker have -- Clinton said Walker has turns Wisconsinites against one another and the rest of the nation sees it.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BILL CLINTON, FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT: And now they look at Wisconsin and they see America's battleground between people who want to work together to solve problems and people who want to divide and conquer. Cooperation works. Constant conflict is a dead-bang loser. And you need to get rid of it.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BOLDUAN: Joining me now from Madison is CNN's Chris Welch.

Hey there, Chris.

Bill Clinton, he's there today. We've seen New Jersey's Chris Christie -- New Jersey's Governor Chris Christie appear with Governor Walker. Why are all these heavyweights from both parties get involved in this thing?

CHRIS WELCH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, there really have been a lot of heavyweights, Kate. And Bill Clinton, really the biggest of the heavyweights, if you want to call it that, in Milwaukee today campaigning for Barrett, who is running against Governor Scott Walker. But on the other side of things, the Republican, Scott Walker's team, he's really been the one to bring in those heavy hitters, much more than so than the Democrats have. And many Democrats are privately grumbling, look, where is Obama? Where is President Obama? Where is Vice President Joe Biden? They got President Clinton today. That's a big deal for them. That, they say, the Democrats stay, that will help mobilize them in these last few days before the election.

Now, on the other side of things, we've got Governor Scott Walker and his team. But there are many advocacy groups, there are many groups that are pumping money into this election and have been, really, for the past, well, more than a year now. And one of them is Americans for Prosperity. I am standing next to their bus right now. They're on a few days worth of a bus tour. We started on Wednesday, and it will wrap up tomorrow.

I'm traveling with them across Wisconsin. We've been hearing from voters that have people show up at rallies around the state. And really their message is, look, Governor Walker's policies have been working. They've shrunken the size of government, essentially, and given Wisconsin a surplus. That's their message.

Here, take a listen to what President Tim Phillips had to say.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TIM PHILLIPS, PRESIDENT, AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY: The country knows what I think you know. And that's that you've got the best governor in the entire United States of America right here in Wisconsin. He's the best governor in the country because of the policies he's putting forward that are turning your great state completely around.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

WELCH: So Americans for prosperity is on a bus tour, and today the Tea Party Express starts their own bus tour as well. That will go through election day.

Kate.

BOLDUAN: Chris, the latest polls are showing that Governor Walker, he's ahead with just a single-digit advantage over Mayor Barrett. How are things looking on the ground ahead of this recall from your perspective? WELCH: Well, I think it's fair to say that some of these supporters of Governor Walker have gotten pretty confident in a lot of these polls that have shown a slight lead. But that said, you know, those folks who are kind of leading the effort here and taking the charge for some of these campaigns are saying, look, let's not get cocky. We've got just a few days to go. Let's keep the effort going. But those on the Democratic side are saying, look, we have our own internal polls that this -- that show that this race really is a dead heat. And our folks will be coming out just as hard, we hope harder on election day Tuesday.

Kate.

BOLDUAN: All right, Chris Welch in Wisconsin for us. A lot of people watching the outcome of Tuesday's recall. Thanks so much, Chris.

And we've all heard about the worms, the viruses that can ruin your computer. Well, now comes word the president was hoping such a worm would cripple Iran's nuclear ambitions. It has us asking if it worked.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

BOLDUAN: A jaw-dropping revelation with far-reaching implications. It's really amazing stuff. Secret cyber attacks launched by the U.S. against Iran with President Barack Obama running the show according to "The New York Times." The paper says the covert program started under President George W. Bush, but President Obama stepped up the attacks. The goal, pretty simple, using a virus, a computer virus, to physically damage Iran's nuclear facilities. We want to bring in our Pentagon correspondent Chris Lawrence on this.

Hey there, Chris.

As I was reading through this report, Chris, so many incredible details on this story.

CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: That's right, Kate.

I mean one former State Department official, who is an expert in cyber warfare and cyber security, told me Stuxnet was a real game changer because it took cyber warfare from espionage, where it's been for the last 20, 30 years, to sabotage. In other words, this was a computer virus that actually caused physical damage. In fact, this official that I spoke with says the damage that Stuxnet inflicted on Iran's nuclear facilities was about the same as the physical damage it would have taken three days of air strikes to do. So that gives you an idea of just, you know, how devastating computer warfare can be.

The thing about this virus was, it had to jump this so-called electronic moat. In other words, Iran -- the computers that were controlling Iran's nuclear system were not connected to the Internet, so they had to get it in some way. "The New York Times" reports that they bridged that gap using a combination of people, using a combination of materials and equipment that was being used in that area to get the bug in. And then once it got it, it still had to be able to transmit back. And I talked to this former official who said that involved a lot of testing to make sure that this virus would actually work.

It did work for a time, and then it got out. In other words, somebody accidentally got it onto the Internet and it started spreading all over the world. But the official says the one thing to keep your eye on here is the fact that Stuxnet really didn't do much damage outside of the Iranian nuclear facility. He said, in years to come, as these cyber attacks start to multiply and are used by many different nations, he says that won't always be the case, Kate.

BOLDUAN: That's very interesting. And it seems that the administration, according to the article, there's seems to be some dispute how much damage it caused. But I hear exactly what you're saying. Now that it's out, Chris, are we hearing any reaction from the administration about Stuxnet?

LAWRENCE: Yes, the administration is denying that they sort of leaked this in order to show that the president is going after Iran or is taking a tough stance on Iran. One of the Pentagon -- or White House spokesmen said publicizing this would pose a threat to national security. Remember, this is coming just after a huge revelation about the drone program. Many people saying, you know, that that was released and information about the drone program was released in order to prove what the administration is doing against terrorism.

BOLDUAN: And, real quick, are -- what's the potential for -- I mean it's out now. We're talking about it.

LAWRENCE: Yes.

BOLDUAN: Are there any potential problems now that this has been made public?

LAWRENCE: It -- perhaps in two ways. One, they don't think technically no problems because they say for Stuxnet to work, so many things had to go right. And it involved not just the bug itself, but the people, the intelligence, the Israelis' knowledge of the Iranian nuclear facility and it's engineering components. So, a lot of things had to work right in order for this bug to work.

But as far as it being publicized, the former official I spoke with said, at least two nations, Russia and China, have the capability to launch an attack like this right now on the United States. He said both Iran and North Korea are working on that capability. So he said now that it's out there, that this has been a way for, you know, a country to be attacked, what are the ramifications going to be as more nations gain this capability?

BOLDUAN: And has also been pointed out, Chris, so interesting, what country uses the computer as the basis for running our infrastructure more than the United States?

LAWRENCE: Yes.

BOLDUAN: So, if we're putting it out there --

LAWRENCE: Nobody more than us. And nobody's more vulnerable than we are.

BOLDUAN: Exactly. It's so interesting. All right, Chris Lawrence at the Pentagon. Thanks so much, Chris.

LAWRENCE: Yes.

BOLDUAN: There's an international manhunt -- we've been talking about this -- for a porn star suspected of killed a friend, then mailing body parts to political groups. Interpol is on the trail.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

BOLDUAN: New developments today in the gruesome Canadian body parts murder. I wish there weren't new developments like this. Well, an international manhunt is underway for the suspect. A short time ago, police in Montreal released the name of the victim.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

IAN LAFRENIERE, MONTREAL POLICE: So the latest detail that we get is that the victim, we know the identity now. It's not confirmed 100 percent yet. We need a DNA match. But the victim will be a 33-year-old victim, which is Jun Lin.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM WARNING)

PAULA NEWTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Problem. Police also do (INAUDIBLE). So I want you to listen now, though, again, to Commander Lafreniere as he talks about the Internet trail that this suspect left.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LAFRENIERE: I've never seen an investigation going that fast. Within hours, you guys received a picture of a suspect. Within hours, we had a complete video. And this was good, but again, the suspect himself been helping us a lot. He taped everything. We got a copy of this. This is kind of a (INAUDIBLE). He's been helping us. But again, he's in a different country now, but we've got a lot of help. I've been mentioning to people that he's been using the web to bring himself as a king to give him a good image, but I think it's going to web -- going to catch him also.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

NEWTON: Certainly they hope so, but now that he is in Europe and has had that head start, it's a problem. And, Kate, you know, he was talking about that video. Police officers say they've never seen anything like it. Completely horrific. And that, in fact, the victim is decapitated on the video and that that circulated for days before they were able to take it down.

BOLDUAN: So amazing. And you're hearing that the suspect was in London this past December. What was he -- what was he doing there? Is that significant here? NEWTON: Such a bizarre story, Kate. So he came to London in December of last year, 2011. We spoke to "The Sun" newspaper here. Why? Because they actually meant with him in connection with an animal cruelty story of someone who had posted a python snake eating a live kitten on the Internet, if you can police it. "The Sun" and other organizations in Canada and the United States are a bit upset because some of these things were brought to the attention of authorities, but no one could really put together the threads and really investigate it properly. But that's why we're talking about connections to London, to perhaps the Netherlands and to France.

BOLDUAN: Paula, thank you so much for following this. And, please, bring us any developments that you get on this wild, gruesome case.

Paula Newton in London, thanks so much.

So there is some severe weather near Washington, D.C., my hometown, that we need to start talking about. I'm personally interested here. So let's get to the severe weather expert, Chad Myers.

What's going on, Chad?

CHAD MYERS, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Yes, I know you had a flight this evening.

BOLDUAN: Had, past tense.

MYERS: Yes. I hate to even say that right now.

BOLDUAN: Yes.

MYERS: But a couple of storms now rotating enough that the weather services offices there putting out tornado warnings west of metro D.C. There's the beltway right here. But if you west, you go out west here, you get up towards Gaithersburg, you get up here toward Poolesville, Poolesville right there, and then even Green Valley right there, a couple of rotating thunderstorms west, moving northeast, not towards this D.C. area yet, but you have to understand there are more storms developing to the south of D.C. that may affect D.C., may affect Baltimore, all the way up even into Philadelphia later on tonight. There is a tornado watch in effect for many of the areas out here. We'll keep you up-to-date if we see anything or hear about anything on the ground.

BOLDUAN: Yes, stay close, Chad. I think as this develops, we want to hear much more about this. Thanks so much, Chad. We'll check back.

MYERS: You're welcome.

BOLDUAN: So, one day after a mistrial is declared in the John Edwards corruption case, we're hearing from some of the jurors about their preconceived notions, the evidence and the emotion.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There were times it got very frustrating. The emotions got high. And we'd have to take a minute, step back, and just everyone calm down.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BOLDUAN: As for Edwards, he says he committed many wrongs but nothing illegal.

We'll be right back.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

BOLDUAN: This is worth another listen. John Edwards, a free man accepting full responsibility for his acknowledged misdeeds.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOHN EDWARDS (D), FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I want to make sure that everyone hears from me and from my voice that while I do not believe I did anything illegal or ever thought I was doing anything illegal.

I did an awful, awful lot that was wrong. There is no one else responsible for my sins. None of the people who came to court and testified are responsible. Nobody working for the government is responsible. I am responsible.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BOLDUAN: A federal jury could not convict Edwards of any of the six counts related to funds he accepted to cover up an affair while he was running for president.

CNN's Joe Johns was there for all four weeks of the trial plus nine days of deliberations -- Joe.

JOE JOHNS, CNN SENIOR CORRESPONDENT: Kate, the day after the mistrial on five counts in the campaign finance case against former senator and presidential candidate, John Edwards, members of the jury are already speaking out.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JOHNS (voice-over): The take away is the government did not meet its burden of proving each and every count against Edwards beyond a reasonable doubt.

CINDY AQUARO, JOHN EDWARDS TRIAL JUROR: Like we said the evidence just was not there for us to prove guilt.

LADONNA FOSTER, JOHN EDWARDS TRIAL JUROR: We tried to work it out, but we couldn't come to a unanimous decision.

JOHNS: Edwards was also found not guilty by the jury on a single count of accepting illegal campaign donations from a wealthy benefactor in 2008.

The question now is whether the federal government will seek to re-try the five counts that ended in a mistrial. Edwards for his part said if the government doesn't re-try the case, he'd like to do something to help poor children around the country and the world.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

JOHNS: Legal observers, many of whom say it was a marginal case to take to trial in the first place, are arguing it would be a waste of taxpayer dollars to re-try it, especially since the facts and the law are not likely to change with the passage of time -- Kate.

BOLDUAN: Joe Johns, thank you so much. A very busy day yesterday.>

Other news we're watching in the movies it's a familiar story line. Superheroes joining forces to tackle a world crisis. This week we catch up with three of our "CNN Heroes" who are doing just that. Teaming up to help AIDS orphans in the African nation of Malawi.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ANDERSON COOPER, HOST, CNN'S "AC 360" (voice-over): Marie Desilva was a nanny in the U.S. when she started a school for AIDS orphans in her native Malawi. Honored in 2008, she's joined forces with two other honorees.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm so good.

COOPER: Magnus McFarland Barrow was recognized in 2010 for his work feeding school children around the globe.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He started his organization in Malawi. I just asked him to consider us.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I was very struck by her. I felt we were people that could work together.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is the stove.

COOPER: Today Magnus's organization Mary's meals provides free porridge daily to all 400 of Mari's her students.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: His support means the children always have something to eat. He is a saint to me.

COOPER: The 2010 honoree makes solar lanterns for rural African communities. Evans visited her school, and recently his team taught students to build their own lamps.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: For the family it cuts their costs and for the children it helps them to study. He really motivated our kids to be inventors. They've come up with their own little models.

COOPER: Now her students plan to supply lamps to their communities with creativity and compassion, these CNN heroes are helping each other to change even more lives.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: CNN heroes coming together to work together, it's a family. How sweet is that?

(END VIDEOTAPE)

BOLDUAN: The city that hosted this year's Super Bowl hits hard at Smokers. We'll tell you about the new rules next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

BOLDUAN: Let me get back to this weather we've been talking about. Heavy rain, high winds and possible tornadoes happening near Damascus, Maryland. Chad Myers, tell me more.

CHAD MYERS, AMS METEOROLOGIST: This storm is spinning so significantly. I want to get back on here. If you're in the Damascus area, moving away from D.C., but I really need you to be underground or at least inside at this point.

This storm has so much rotation on it that I'm very scared that this is probably on the ground. That's the beltway. There you go all the up towards Hagerstown, but right through here, right through Damascus and Mount Erie, that storm is rotating significantly.

Let me take you to two different colors. This is Doppler radar. I don't usually show it unless it's very significant. That means that the rain and wind are spinning around. When you see the tail lights you see them moving away from you.

The greens are moving towards you. The red is moving that way and green moving that. The only way that happens is if the storm is doing this over Damascus heading over to Mount Eerie. I'll be very surprised if there wasn't a tornado on the ground with that much rotation shown in the air by Doppler radar right now.

BOLDUAN: How fast is this moving? You were talking about Maryland and obviously talking about a lot of D.C., the whole D.C. region. How fast is this moving, because other areas need to keep an eye on this as well?

Moving probably 30 miles per hour right now, not that fast, I don't want to you chase these out outrun these. These are significant storms, and if it moves to the northeast at 30 miles per hour here.

That means this storm, although not warned on yet, this is north of Dale City, that will move into the Washington, D.C. area. I know my producer had a shot here of Washington, D.C.

There's the monument right there, seeing the winds blowing the flag pretty much starched out there. That means humidity and moisture and don't like to mix the hot air going up and that creates thunderstorms.

BOLDUAN: It was already humid when I was leaving town to head here. I'm sure. We'll come back to you. Obviously this is not over yet. Thanks so much.

Some other news, this was just in to CNN. We are hearing a Florida judge has revoked the bond of George Zimmerman. We talked about this at the top of hour so let's get back to Martin Savidge in Sanford, Florida. What do you have, Martin?

MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: OK, that circuit judge, Kenneth Lester, has just now ruled that he is revoking the bond of George Zimmerman and that George Zimmerman must turn himself back into authorities within 48 hours.

This is all coming about as a result of the motion that was filed by the state this afternoon in a court hearing that is just wrapping up right now. The state is maintaining for two reasons that the bond should be revoked.

Number one, they state that he was required to turn in his passport. He apparently had two passports, and he turned in only one. The crucial factor for the judge was going back to the money.

If you remember the original bond hearing, the family claimed they were indigent that they had no money. However, it is now been shown that in fact due to fundraising that had place on the web, they had a lot of money, over $130,000.

That apparently George Zimmerman and his wife were aware. Not only were they aware, but they were recorded in jailhouse phone call conversations talking about the money before that bond hearing.

In other words, they knew they had money, but lied in the words of the state saying they did not. So as a result of that, the judge has revoked bond and George Zimmerman has to turn himself back in within 48 hours.

BOLDUAN: This was kind of added a little later in the day today. Today's hearing we originally thought was really about both the defense and the prosecution being on the same side wanting to have documents and many things sealed. Is there any new development in that aspect of this hearing?

SAVIDGE: There is. For the most part it appears that the judge is 90% in agreement with the media, or he would say the public in allows as much disclosure as possible. There had been the request on the part of the state and defense, they were on the same side in this particular matter.

That they wanted to hold back specific information including names of witnesses and it appears those names will be redacted. In other words, the names will be revealed, but things like the statements that George Zimmerman made to police, phone records and other photographs it appears will be released.

Keep in mind, Florida has very open laws when it comes to the issue of full disclosure. So as a result the judge says, look, his hands are pretty much tied. That is the law of the state of Florida.

You must allow a lot of information released to the public and the media. That's how it will happen. Hasn't said how much more evidence to be released or when, but there's more to come. The big news now, the ruling that George Zimmerman must turn himself in to authorities and that will be within two days.

BOLDUAN: Within 48 hour. Again to remind our viewers, the judge ruled that George Zimmerman's bond is to be revoked, and he has to turn himself in within 48 hours as Martin Savidge just said. Thank you so much. We have more next hour as well.

In the meantime let's get to other news we're watching today. Indianapolis, that's my hometown. My home state at least, and is telling smokers to put out their butts starting today all bars, restaurants, bowling alleys and hotels will have to be smoke-free. The only exceptions will be for cigar bars, smoke shops and private fraternal clubs that apply for special permits.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, we wanted to do repertoire that was right for the occasion, obviously, and mostly British all from the commonwealth.

BALDWIN: Can I get you to hum a tune?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hum a tune?

BALDWIN: Yes, sir.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. I can hum.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Real late 19th century, early 20th Century mainly British music.

BALDWIN: How about the James bond theme?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, we're doing the James Bond theme for MI: 6. From what I understand. you all will be playing different songs, different tunes, hymns, dependent upon certain monuments you pass.

We made a program, and then we realized it could probably, you know -- a lot could be tied into places we're passing. So, you know, when we pass Chelsea Gardens, we'll play English country gardens. When we pass bell fast we'll play the Danbus March.

BALDWIN: How excited are you to play on the river?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's extraordinary thing. It's an extraordinary thing because I've done such a thing before, never.

BALDWIN: How many years have you been conducting?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: About 35. I was a child when I start, of course. This is the first on the river. I've never actually -- the orchestra players often do kind of cruises and things like that, you know, on the sea.

BALDWIN: There are cruises, and then there is the pageant for the queen.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Exactly. This is a different matter altogether.

BALDWIN: Will you be nervous?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, no, no. I'll be excited but not nervous.

BALDWIN: You have some contingency plans in the chance of rain.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We do. We hope fervently it doesn't rain, but if it does we have singing in the rain and raindrops keep falling on my head ready to keep everybody in high spirits.

BALDWIN: Nobody wants you playing that.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Bo, we don't. I think at least it will make people laugh, wouldn't it? What's extraordinary is it's happening -- it will only happen once. We won't get another diamond jubilee, not in my lifetime anyway, so it's a special occasion.

I think it's really -- I think it's really nice that it's kind of so much artistic endeavors going into it. It's really good. It isn't just flag waving and that kind of thing. I think that's important actually. The culture of the country is being celebrated.

BOLDUAN: He sounds very excited. That was very fun. Brooke is in London getting as we have to say all of the plum assignments. I don't know if you're having a lot of fun. It sounds like you are. So as the conductor LSD, Brook, first, what's going on there? Are you having fun? Obviously this conductor is very excited with everything that he has to do.

BALDWIN: As I having fun? Am I having fun? Yes, I'm having fun. Let me for full transparency segue into orchestra music into a rock concert, I'm here at Buckingham palace where the queen resides. There is a rock show happening on Monday night. If you hear guitar or drums, they're rehearsing.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So appropriate for you. You're the music lover of all music lovers.

BALDWIN: It's perfect. A quick skinny on the whole flotilla on the river them and that's the first thing for the jubilee celebration in London. That's Sunday. Really, the whole world will be watching this entire flotilla.

Prince Charles is the patron. He had to give the music the thumbs up. It's not just Philharmonic tunes and Yankee doodle dandy and Bollywood.

There are 54 and the queen is sovereign over the United Kingdom and 15 other countries. All of those pieces around the world will in some form or fashion be represented on the Thames on Sunday.

BOLDUAN: It's amazing. I love how the conductor said there are cruises, and then there is this. It's a serious endeavor.

BALDWIN: This for the queen.

BOLDUAN: This has been a banner year-plus for Great Britain. The royal wedding and then this and the summer Olympics, is there constant excitement on the ground there?

BALDWIN: Think about it. She's the only monarch of this I've read they're calling it the trifecta. In America they so love the whole story of Katherine and William, but when you asked Brits here what's the bigger deal, they say this weekend, the queen's Diamond Jubilee. She's the only other monarch of this nation who has celebrated 60 years. It was Queen Victoria in 1897, and so it's pretty stunning. This is a huge deal. We get to share it with us on CNN.

BOLDUAN: That's exciting with you as I will continue to be jealous of your assignment. But thank you so much. We will check back in with you as I will continue to be jealous of your assignment.

Brooke will be back next hour as we look at what Americans think of the monarchy. Lots of interesting stuff coming up.

The big event is this coming weekend. We plan to bring the festivities from London with Brooke Baldwin and Piers Morgan. The live coverage begins Sunday morning at 11:00 Eastern.

Next, we're going to have to turn to a country in upheaval, Syria, and violence that isn't ending no matter how many officials call for peace.

Plus chilling 911 tapes in the Seattle cafe shootings and one man's actions have police calling him a hero. It's pretty amazing stuff.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

BOLDUAN: Allegations of another mass killing has surfaced in Syria. They say security personnel forced 12 factory workers off a bus and shot them dead. Damascus denies the charge.

It says the workers were killed by anti-government rebels because they were state employees. The killings occurred southwest of the embattled city of Homs.

CNN's Ivan Watson reports on the dire situation there and a warning, a good warning for you all, his report does include some graphic footage.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

IVAN WATSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): A tank shell strikes leaving wounded bleeding in the streets. These are the final moments of a local activist and cameraman named Abdul. He is rushed not to a hospital, but to this makeshift clinic.

This is how Syria's opposition are forced to treat their wounded, because the country's hospitals are under government control. In the garden of what used to be an ordinary house, doctors struggle to save his life.

But the wounds are just too deep. More casualties stream in, and there's simply no place to put them. Some of the victims here are rebel fighters, others too young to even understand. The child's mother screams for a doctor and curses her President Bashar Al-Assad. For some the scene here is just too much. An emergency worker lost on the floor of a kitchen that's now become an emergency room. This is what the war looks like in Syria and it's probably going to get much, much worse.
